The sun was just rising, casting a bright glow through the room when Emma slowly opened her eyes. Squinting against the sun, her eyes wandered around the room in search of her baby.

Jeremiah looked at her, with love shining brightly in his eyes, and with a smile on his face said, "they are so beautiful, I'm so proud of you Emmy.  You did so well. Wait here, I'll go get them for you. " With that said, he exited the room.
